• New Quaker Valley High School opening pushed back 2 years (triblive.com) — Quaker Valley High School’s new building, which serves Sewickley students, is now expected to open for the 2029-30 school year instead of 2027 because of permitting and legal delays. District and Leet Township officials are working through state, federal, and road-safety approvals, including a Camp Meeting Road realignment and new sidewalk funded by a federal Safe Routes to School grant.
